Geomagnetic storm is a temporary disturbance of the magnetosphere caused by disturbances of interplanetary matter . A geomagnetic storm is a major component of space weather and is caused by the shock wave of the solar wind that interacts with the Earth 's magnetic field .
On July 23, 2012 it had the strongest geomagnetic storm in the last 150 years, fortunately it "missed" the Earth a little. [1]
These solar flares refer to an event announced by NASA [2] [3] that takes place in 2013- [4] [5] [6] 2014 and consists of strong solar flares that will influence the Earth's magnetic field [7] and may have minor but minimal consequences for electrical / electronic equipment [8] . The phenomenon is called geomagnetic storm .
Starting with January 8, 2008 [9] the sun enters the 24th solar cycle [10] . President NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center , Douglas Biesecker said: " If our prediction is correct, Solar Cycle 24 will have a maximum of 90 sunspots , the smallest solar cycle number of spots in 1928 when Solar Cycle 16 had 78 sunspots. It is tempting to describe such a cycle as "weak" or "light", but this could leave a wrong impression. Even a below-average cycle is capable of producing severe spatial weather conditions. The great geomagnetic storm in1859 , for example, appeared during a solar cycle of approximately the same size as the cycle predicted for 2013 ” [11] .
Richard Fisher , director of NASA's heliophysics division, has revealed that planet Earth will be hit by magnetic radiation [12] from solar explosions in 2013.
On October 25, two consecutive Class X solar flares occurred in the 1882 solar sector, where no such phenomena have been observed since May 2013. These were followed by a series of M-class explosions. [13]
